Add to /etc/aliases (or /etc/mail/aliases or whatever):
---- snip ----
issues: |/usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script
---- snip ----
(if address@hidden is the intended address)

and regenerate any binary representation of it (newaliases(1) usually
does this). Alternatively, if the user in question is an actual system
user, add "|/usr/bin/..." in the users $HOME/.forward

Either way tells the mail server to pipe incoming mail content to the
command listed after "|" (pipe symbol).

If you want to establish per-project addresses, many mailservers accept
"address@hidden" and pass those mails to "user". With that, the
project could be parsed out from the mail recipient.
